Step 1: Choose a Reputable Crypto Betting Platform

Research Options: Look for a company with a solid reputation, positive user reviews, and have competitive and fair odds. (eg. Betpanda, 24/7 Clash, Bookmaker).

Check Supported Cryptocurrencies: Ensure the platform accepts the cryptocurrency you intend to use (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT).

Look for Features: Consider ease of use, betting options, odds, security, and bonuses for crypto deposits.

Step 2: Set Up a Crypto Wallet

Choose a Wallet: Select a secure crypto wallet (e.g., MetaMask, Ledger, or Coinbase Wallet).

Buy Cryptocurrency: Use a crypto exchange (like Binance or Coinbase) to purchase the cryptocurrency you need for betting.

Transfer Funds to Your Wallet: Transfer the cryptocurrency from the exchange to your wallet for added security.

Step 3: Create an Account with the Crypto Betting Platform

Sign Up: Provide basic information like an email address and set up a password.

KYC: Send “Know Your Customer” documents which includes either a license, passport or ID card.  Also include a utility bill to confirm your residential address.

Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Enhance the security of your account, if needed.

Step 4: Deposit Cryptocurrency

Navigate to Deposits: Go to the “Deposit” section of the betting platform.

Choose Your Currency: Select the cryptocurrency you plan to deposit.

Get the Wallet Address: Copy the sportsbook’s wallet address or scan the provided QR code.

Send Funds: Use your crypto wallet to send the desired amount to the sportsbook’s wallet address. Double-check the address to avoid errors. Make sure you are sending the same type of cryptocurrency to the accepting wallet.  Ex. Bitcoin is sent to a Bitcoin wallet.

Wait for Confirmation: Depending on the network, transactions may take a few minutes to confirm. Your deposit will either show up in you account as USDT (1 to 1 with the US Dollar) or in your local currency.

Step 5: Place a Bet

Browse Events: Explore the sportsbook to find sports or games you want to bet on.

Select a Bet Type: Choose spreads, pools format, over/under, moneyline or any other betting option.

Enter Your Stake: Specify the amount of crypto (USDT or local currency) you wish to wager.

Confirm Your Bet: Review the details and place the bet.

Step 6: Withdraw Winnings

Check Withdrawal Options: Go to the “Withdraw” section and select your cryptocurrency.

Enter Your Wallet Address: Provide the address of your crypto wallet for withdrawal. This will be the same address you deposited into your account previously.

Submit the Request: Confirm the withdrawal request and wait for the funds to arrive in your wallet. This may take a few minutes.
